Networked society
A networked society is one in which digital technologies, especially the internet and mobile communication, connect people, organizations, and devices globally. This interconnected environment allows instant sharing of information, collaboration, and social interaction across distances. It influences how we communicate, work, learn, and access services, creating a more integrated and responsive social fabric. In such a society, networks enable new forms of innovation, participation, and social relationships, making the world more interconnected and dynamic while also raising considerations about privacy, security, and digital equity.
